After shedding more than 40 pounds, this Biggest Loser can finally shake her money-maker.

Don’t feel sorry for Patti Anderson, the second contestant to be eliminated in from the ninth season of NBC’s weight-loss reality show, The Biggest Loser (aka The Most Inspirational Show On TV). Since leaving the Loser ranch, she’s lost so much weight at home she’s even been able to break out her dancing shoes.

55-year-old Patti—a business owner from Lafayette, California—has dropped more than 40 pounds since starting her weight-loss journey last summer, and now, at 200 pounds, she’s able to get her boogie on for the first time in years.

“Dancing is something I’ve always loved to do but really couldn’t,” the contestant explained to HollywoodLife.com exclusively Jan. 13. “[My husband] Carl and I took salsa lessons and we’re going to continue doing ballroom [dancing]. Dancing is just a wonderful way to get in exercise, and [I get] to hold him close.”

Talk about romantic!

How does this working woman and mother think she’ll do with the $100,000 at home challenge? “I’ll make you proud,” she said optimistically.
